Anyone using the in-ear ones or the headphones with their Nexus? If so please leave me your feedback... I'm looking to buy a set today and don't care about the microphone.

are you using the in-ears or the over the head headphones? curious to know if the noise cancelling on them is noticable and is the volume louder than oem htc earphones?

bought the Monster Beats by Dre (Tour/in-ear with Control Talk) from the Apple store last week and I absolutely love them. They are replacing my old Apple in-ear headphones. Bass is sweet with no distortion. Mids and highs are spot on. Haven't yet tried them with the N1, been using them with my iPt. Not sure if the in-line remote controls/mic will work with the N1 but I will test them out sometime.

cool good to hear, let me know how they sound on the N1 and if the microphone actually works too! thanks man.

The beats are pretty good but way overpriced. Either way the output of the nexus one isn't great for audio and anything too good is a bit of a waste. Try going to head-fi to read up on iems before you buy.

Is the compatibility a hardware or software issue? Could some code be written or changed to make them work 100%?

I have the monster beats over the ears head phones. The big ones. They work perfectly fine. Also they come with the adapted to use with your nexus one which works fine. I like them a lot.

been using the in ear with control talk and they are the best headphones i have ever owned.
I have the bose quiet comfort 3 and the beats by dre top them out in quality.
Got mine for 80 bucks of craiglist brand new

used the Studio beats, they were awesome. just too big to carry around at times. so I got the klipsch s4i's. Awesome headset. ~100 but well worth it. check the cnet reviews, they're highly rated. lets me answer calls as well.

I know this thread is old... But check out Head-Fi.org when it comes to headphones.
I'd be very surprised if the Dre headphones are anything but overpriced. At first glance, it seems like my assumption is correct via my first couple threads when searching Dre Beats.
For those too lazy to look

The best headphones for smart phones are the: -
Etymotic HF2 High Fidelity Headphones

I've read the stuff on Head-fi but I still decided to buy a pair of Solo's. Why? Because I like them. I really like the looks and I think sound quality is pretty decent too. Furthermore I think they are one of the most comfortable headphones out there, which is pretty important to me too.
Of course, the fact that some people on Head-fi are not too enthousiastic about these headphones might say something. So maybe they are not the perfect headphones price/quality wise, but let's not exaggerate. For example, there are a lot of people out there that have a positive opinion about these headphones too.
What happens on forums is that in the end, if there are enough people saying bad things about something, other people will either just copycat their opinion without taking the time to develop their own opinion, or they will be influenced by these opinions while developing their own.
My 2 cents.
Now, does this Control Talk feature works on any HTC android phone??

I have had the beats over the ear for around a year now. I looked up a couple reviews and they were onsale so i took the leap.
in retrospec after doing more research and finding out about head-fi i would not buy them again.
they sound great and feel great. the "noise cancelation" is nothing to write home about. I also find it VERY annoying that the headphones cannot even work without the 2 AAA batteries in them. I use them alot for xbox with an astro mixamp and its very annoying to head over to a friends only to find out your headphones die 5 minutes into a match of your favorite game.
hooked up to my nexus they sound great, with a decent headphone amp they sound even better of course. no one buys a phone expecting to output the requires wattage.
prior to purchasing these cans i had not had much experiance over a few "high end" gaming headsets and your typical mid range dj headphones/ in ear buds and i was blown away by these. I was and still am very happy with my purchase, however i realize that for the money i could have got even better.

My thoughts exactly. Avoid BOSE or Monster if you want value for money, they are all marketing (think Apple).

I'v been using UE triple.fi 10vi for a while now..
There's no going back once you hear these babies

Get a pair of Futuresonic Atrio's, you probably never heard of them but they are the industry leader in IEM's for Concert's/bands/live performers. Great low frequency response and warm accurate highs; review. For <$200 they can't be touched by any other IEM on the market.
EDIT: Wanted to add that anything with the name Monster on it is way overpriced.

Images s4
I have listened to a few of the Beats line headphones... and they sound quite good overall. But as for in-ears I went with the Klipsch Image S4's they are amazing earbuds, and I paid like 40 bucks for one!

Good to hear the headset part works on the N1! I use these with my iPhone, and the call answer button is very convenient. I was a little bit worried it'd go to waste when my N1 arrives.

Ive been using the Dr. Dre beats in-ear headphones. I read the reviews and to me they sound great.

What do you think about the google headphone

I want to buy headphones to my Nexus 4, and I want to know what is your opinion about the google headphone, or the ibeats (Dr. Dre).

If you like your headphones bassy and overpriced, go for the ibeats. But I doubt the controls will work as they're made for apple devices.
In general, I think you'll find much better options than either. First of all, though, you should think about what you want in your headphones and how much you're willing to spend. And then seek out a forum with lots of people who care about audio quality etc.
I personally am using the Superlux HD 381F. Build quality is not spectacular, but the sound is amazing considering they only cost 20€, so it's not that much of a loss if you break or lose them. Which I do way too often to actually buy more expensive ones.

I would go with neither.
Go with Senheiser or another know 'headphone' brand.
I myself use the Marley earbuds, they fit perfectly, the cord is not from plastic but from fabric, earbuds are from wood, and most of all have amazing sound.

i read in the forum that have any app that control on the pins, like one click its play/stop , two clicks its next song..
the question if its realy working

Get yourself a pair of Sennheiser, Shure, or audio-technica headphones. ~$100 for some really good ones.

Do a little search and you can come up with a few threads on various headphones. From cheapest, to what you have/recommend, in ear or over the ear,etc. It's here. I know because I commented on most of them lol.
My opinion of the Google headphones. They are good for just the casual listener. Dr. Dre are a bit overpriced for what they are, but I don't deny the popularity of them due to "style" and whatnot. What is your budget? What type of headphones are you looking into? These are some of the things to think of and do a little research on to come to your conclusion.
I just bought some Munitio NINES 9mm earbuds, because they looked interesting because they look like bullet casings lol. Well I read in some reviews that they sound great for the price. So I am testing them out.
So basically, if you want good in ears, go for the brands like Sennheiser or Shure products. Also Jays headphones are decent as well. I personally use the Sol Republic AMPS HD for my yardwork. They are light and tangle free. Over the ears are based on mostly on personal preference due to the head phone cup size, portability, and so forth.
Additionally, the type of music you listen to plays a factor as well. GL and happy shopping!

I have not tried the google headphones, ( i'm sure their average to decent like standard earphones) but I do own the ibeats by Dr.dre. I would not have bought them myself as I agree they are overpriced, but I received them as a birthday gift. The quality is very good, better than any other earphones I tried or had ( all <$20) and they have a lot of bass, which I really like. The build quality is really good too, better than all my usual cheap earphones ( but thats what you would expect at that price range) - the rubber for the wires and the metal earbuds are both good. I was happy with the sound but honestly I'm sure you could get just as good a pair in terms of sound quality for $50, like the name brands mentioned above. These are just priced for the branding and popularity and style points. I did get a lot of compliments for them since they are recognizable.
For the controls, only the center button worked for me. It does pause/play, or pick up/hang up a call. You can get apps to set the one button to do other things based on how many times you press it. The volume/track + - buttons did not work for me, I don't think android supports them yet.
So your choice, depends on your budget and what you want. They're good but expensive.. you might be better off with one of the well known audio company brands.

http://www.amazon.com/Hands-Free-Stereo-Headset-iPhones-Models/dp/B005QAV6FC
I use them with this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kober.headsetbutton
They're excellent for the money, and the plug is actually a 90 degree, though the pictures don't show it. They've got great bass, and you won't believe the quality for the price.

I recommend the Klipsch IMAGE S4 II's. Love the sound from them and they're not too expensive. If you're looking for cheap, the IMAGE S3 or original IMAGE S4's also do an excellent job. The versions that have an A at the end of them have a customizable button via an Android app made by Klipsch themselves.

I saw the thread about the headphones, and i don't want to pay too much, my range price is 10-30$ not more
now when everyone say that Dr.Dre it's only name I will not buy his headphones
Are you happy with your headphones? they look good , but I can't test them .. only from you opinion and more subjects on them .
I saw this headphones: Sennheiser CX300II, but I do not like the cable length is not the same
All I want is headphones in-ear , with high loud, high bass and quality

I have the lg quadbeat earphones. They are the same got them of Ebay for 20 bucks

OP- Since you said you like bass, I strongly suggest you try JVC HAFX101 or JVC HAFX1X. I own both and they produce mind blowing bass. No kidding! They cost $14-15. You can get them both and still stay under budget

Seconding this. I have the HAFX1X and it really pumps the bass. Looks pretty good too! Now if I can find the bud thing that fits in my ears instead of it falling out, it'll be golden.

BEST HEADPHONE you can BUY for NOTE 4 for just 15USD

Hello guys
i just got this headphone and i am SO overwhelmed about them
they are called Xiaomi MII Pistion Headphones 20.1 and they actually just cost about 15 USD including shipping !!
So Why you should buy these ? there a a lot of headphones everywhere (Saturn, Mediamarkt etc...)
WHY ?
These are made of very good materials and the sound is just like Sennheiser or bose , but of course IT DOES NOT HAVE NOISE Challanceing....
I made a short video for you
Maybe you are also interested in that...
YOU can buy them everywhere BUT be SURE you buy the originals....

I'm not question the headphones sound good, and especially at the price point. But as someone who actually owns a pair Sennheiser 600HD and has gone through many headphones, I have never came across any cheap headphones that sounded anywhere near them. There is a reason why Seenheiser give boners to audiophiles and cost two arms and leg to have a proper setup to enjoy them.
I haven't heard a Bose phones, but I put them with Beats and are more hype and way over prices for what you get.
If you want noise canceling, get a pair cans like Etymtic Research ER4S, ER4PT, but those are expensive. Just look for something that has flanges like them. It takes a bit to get use to something in your ear, but give it time, the quite is worth the wait the wait.

im using iPhone headphone ! best sound / bass / quality ! ever !

Could you please pm me the link where you bought it? I think posting the link here is forbidden.

I have a pair of these headphones. They sound really good. I paid more than 15USD for them. I would like to know where you got them that cheap?

Yeah i paid just 15USD.
By the reason that links are forbidden, i refer you to the video, I think it is said the video...
And yes the Xiamoi headphones are actually very nice especcialy for this price !

Not sure if you wanted headphones or earphones, but for the price these are very good and highly rated: http://amzn.com/B00AIRUOI8
Regarding over ear headphones, It is rather difficult to make a suggestion for you given the price range. I would normally suggest the VModa Crossfades, the Sony MDR-XB950BT, the Zik Parrots, or AKG 845BT to people depending on what they listened to or if they liked a certain sound signature. The AKG's are the least expensive of the bunch, and they usually start at about $150.
That said, here are some from manufacturers which I have had good luck with in the past:

I use the Jaybird BlueBuds X myself. It's worth the investment. Especially if you like to listen to music while exercising, and after experiencing multiple failed bluetooth headsets, including the LG Tones.
I am considering this Nakamichi model.
http://amzn.com/B00QEROK0O
Because it's cheap and got really good reviews that praised the sound quality.

I'm using this one and for the price, it's awesome : http://www.amazon.com/August-Blueto...3&sr=1-3&keywords=august+bluetooth+headphones

Best budget wired headphones

I'm looking for headphones that make full use of the hi-fi dac and are not expensive. Will be buying from amazon India

Best and cheap. Those two don't come together.
You can try for VE BIE or the Pistons. Bear in mind that these two options punch above their price in weight but does not mean they make full use of the DAC. It might just make good use of the DAC. For full use, you might have to get an actual proper IEM which you should expect to run upwards of USD200 at least

Recently released MI DUAL DRIVER EARPHONES are literally the best in both bass and treble department. Rs800. Initial reviews on YouTube are praising Xiaomi for this new product in terms of sound stage. Google them

Before the release of MI DUAL DRIVER Earphones, i purchased Realme Buds 2 wired, these realmebus2 sound decent when on MIUI roms( not so great on CustROms).. but they sound really good in Realme phones than MI phones.. don't know why..
though the Noise, and overlapping of sounds are more in RealmeBus2, i like them to use for some time.. listening to BASS prominent songs feels like i am keeping home theatre maybe Dolby or viperFx can cause good audio.
will update my usage after sometime. :highfive:

Definitely KZ ES4 or KZ ZSN. I've used Xiaomi triple driver before and it was average as triple driver goes. KZ on other hand is superb.

I don't know what's expensive to you or what you really look for in terms of IEMs(I assume you want in ears). The pair I've been using for the past ~1.5 year is the most expensive I've ever bought at ~$30, the Tin Audio T2 and I'm very happy with them.
I like my IEMs balanced as I mostly listen to metal and bass heavy sound signatures tend to muddy guitar riffs and make rawer genres sound even tinnier then they already do. You need to find out what type of sound works best for the music you hear and what you like, this is mostly a matter of personal preference and a pair of earphones that sounds really good to you may not sound all that nice to someone else.
I suggest you check out audiobudget.com, I have no affiliation but the guys does some good reviews of inexpensive IEMs that range from $5 to $50

Take a look at the Sony MH755s, literally replaced all of my current IEMS because they sound so good. You can get them for 3-4 usd, but you need to recable them.

Blon bl03 best for the price

You can try RHA MA 390 or 500 in same brand
You can order it on headphone zone.com
With adjusting mids increase in equaliser the sound quality is rich with good sound stage...
That headphone has 3 year warranty also
